Enabling broadcasting

You can schedule broadcasts for specific reports using BMC Remedy Smart Reporting, if you need report related updates to be sent out at regular intervals.

You need to perform the following procedures to set the broadcast schedule for a report:

1. An Administrator must configure the SMTP settings. For more information, see the Yellowfin documentation about Outgoing Mail Server settings at Email Configurations.
2. An Administrator must enable Broadcasting on the Data Source Connection.
3. An Administrator must enable the Broadcasting Role Permissions for User Roles that require it.
4. The Report Writer must enable Broadcasting on the Report.

As an Administrator you can manage the scheduled broadcast tasks.
